Nice colours.I do find it curious though what the attraction of long exposures is where moving water is in the scene. Why is it desirable to turn water into the appearance of a thick oily sludge? The textures and specular lighting in moving water is far more interesting imho.

Dont like my macros, dont like my smooth waters,

Just kidding, I dont know what it is about the smooth water thing, I enjoy trying to get a balance between catching movement and the stillness of the rocks. Only managed a couple that I have really liked.

The long exposure waterfall thing is often overdone - usually monochrome, but your version, the 'thick oily sludge' one, I do like. It captures the smooth movement and fluidity of the stream nicely - distinguishing static from dynamic, imio.
